Resumo

This work aims at analyzing the invitations to feasts in papyri within the context of the social dynamics of commensality in Roman Egypt. Drawing upon Dietler’s concept of «commensal hospitality», this work examines the roles played by commensals at these banquets, as well as the implications of inviting and being invited to a feast. Its objective is to assess the extent to which the celebration of feasts, the issuing of invitations, and the attendance to these feasts may relate to an attempt made by hosts and guests to acquire and increase their prestige and reputation within the group.
